21 Sep The new Omega Seamaster 300M James Bond No Time To Die
The new Omega Seamaster 300M James Bond No Time To Die watch culminates Omega‘s relationship with the James Bond saga. Designed together with the actor who plays it, Daniel Craig, the watch is unequivocally a Seamaster 300M, but with a unique singularity: its manufacture in grade 2 titanium, fully satin-finished.
A bezel fit for a Marine Corps Commander
If we analyze the bezel of the new Seamaster 300M, it is also made of grade 2 titanium. The objective is none other than to provide the watch with greater strength and a marked military character. As many of you may already know, James Bond is a Commander of the Marine Corps and, as an active member of a military corps, he needs a slim and light watch. Thus, it is not surprising that the height of this watch is lower than the Seamaster 300 family, not reaching 13 mm.
A watch full of military references
The Omega Seamaster 300M James Bond No Time To Die watch also has a blank back with military inscriptions. Thus, “0552” is the code specified for British Navy personnel, while “923 7697” is the number used to designate British Navy diver’s watches.
The “A” identifies a watch with a threaded back and 007 the agent’s number. The number 62 refers to the year of the first James Bond movie. The arrowhead was the indicative that the instrument belongs to the British Army.
The same tip also appears on the dial, which dispenses with the classic waves of the Seamaster 300M family and which is also made of aluminum. The indexes and hands are painted in beige Super-LumiNova that accentuates the watch’s retro air and its characteristic two-color shine. This James Bond edition model does not have a date window, so that the whole is harmonious.
Chronometer certified by the prestigious METAS laboratory
This Seamaster 300M James Bond No Time To Die model mounts a caliper. In particular, the 8806 is a certified chronometer that has also passed the demanding tests of the independent METAS laboratory, which means that, among other things, it tolerates magnetic fields of up to 15,000 Gauss. Being a Master Chronometer, for someone like James Bond who moves in extremely demanding environments, it is essential, because you cannot allow your watch to fail you at times that may be critical.
The blind cover has the Naiadlock closure, which ensures that it always remains vertical. And that, for the most discerning of watchmakers (and all watch aficionados are), is a wonder.
Milanese titanium mesh for a simply perfect fit to the wrist
The last big surprise is that this Seamaster model adapts to the wrist with a titanium Milanese mesh, with an excellent touch and a perfectly achieved vintage air. It is also available with NATO. Finally, the watch is presented in a leather case that can be taken on a trip.
